Answer:

4.1 × 10^18 meters.

Explanation :

speed = distance ÷ time.

distance = speed × time.

time in seconds = 431 ×365 × 24 × 60 × 60

= 13,592,016,000 secs

distance = 3 × 10^8 × 13,592,016,000

= 40,776,048,000 × 10^8

= 4.1 × 10^18 meters.

A = 11.77 m/s²

Explanation:

Mass of box (m) = 66kg

Force (f) = 777n

Acceleration (a) = ??

F = ma

777 = 66 · a

A = $\frac{777}{66}$ = 11.77m/s²

if a cyclist is travelling a road due east at 12km/h and a wind is blowing from south-west at 5km/h. find the velocity of the wi

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The velocity of wind with respect to cyclist is $-15.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}$ .

Explanation:

speed of cyclist = 12 km/h east

speed of wind = 5 km/h south west

Write the speeds in the vector form

$\overrightarrow{vc} = 12 \widehat{i}\\\\overrightarrow{vw} = - 5 (cos 45 \widehat{i} + sin 45 \widehat{j})\\\\\overrightarrow{vw} =-3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}$

The velocity of wind with respect to cyclist is

$\overrightarrow{vw} =-3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} = \overrightarrow{vw}-\overrightarrow{vc}\\\\\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} = - 3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j} - 12 \widehat{i}\\\\\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} =-15.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}$
